Summary: While it’s totally debatable whether the problem is IP Kat’s deletion of comments critical of António Campinos (among other such factors after pressure from the EPO [1-7]) or blogs in general perishing, this blog certainly peaked when it covered EPO scandals (864 blog posts in 2015 and 879 in 2014 — the highest ever in the blog’s almost-20-year history)
